He is an expert in intraoperative brain mapping, which he uses to plan and guide his surgeries. This allows him to understand each patient’s brain more thoroughly when performing awake craniotomy operations, which are necessary in order to avoid touching brain areas that control critical functions. His expertise in minimally invasive micro-neurosurgical techniques and awake craniotomies has established him as a highly sought out surgeon throughout Long Island and New York City. In addition, it enabled him to land a position as treasurer of the Suffolk County Medical Society.

Ramin Rak speaks highly of the organization and is thrilled to have been chosen to serve in the position.

The society is the premier professional medical association for physicians in Suffolk County and works toward upholding the highest standards when it comes to the medical profession. In an article on BusByway.com, he states, “I look forward to working with my colleagues on the Medical Society Board to help uphold the highest standards for the medical profession.”

His newly established position adds to his impressive contributions to the medical community.

Currently, he acts as Director of the Brain Tumor Program at NS-LIJ Huntington Hospital, as well as Co-Surgical Director and Director of the Awake Craniotomy and Brain Mapping Program of the Long Island Brain Tumor Center at Neurological Surgery, P.C. (NSPC). He is also a member of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, and serves on the Executive Board of the Society for Brain Mapping & Therapeutics. The latter affords him the opportunity to network with more than 200,000 scientists, physicians, engineers, and surgeons worldwide.

His success and dedication to the field makes Ramin Rak a worthy choice for the prestigious and honorable treasurer position. His term will begin July 1, 2014.
